Brown knocked lightly at the door, but received no response.
He followed Chen Dongcheng's instructions, opened the door and drew back the curtains.
Suddenly, dazzling sunlight shone into the house from the window.
Brown stood by the window, bowed slightly and said: "Mr. Chen, you need to get up now. At nine o'clock in the morning, you need to have a meeting with representatives of several banks."
Chen Dongcheng slowly woke up and nodded to Brown.
When I walked to the bathroom, there was a maid holding a towel in both hands and even mixing the toothbrush water.
After he finished washing his face, the maid took a clean and soft towel and helped Chen Dongcheng carefully wipe away the foam at the corners of his mouth and the water droplets on his face.
At first, Chen Dongcheng was a little uncomfortable with it.
However, Brown has always emphasized that this is a common rule in upper class society.
The rich never need to take matters into their own hands. Someone will prepare all their basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.
Otherwise, what are you hiring these maids for?
While eating breakfast, the newspaper had already been ironed.
Ironing newspapers is a British tradition, which mainly involves ironing the newspapers flat and removing the ink.
Some of the newspapers Brown selected have a relatively high local audience in London.
The most popular content in these newspapers must be Tottenham Hotspur.
It can be said that all the hot spots in football in recent times have been taken over by Tottenham.
Not to mention, there is still a battle between Tottenham and Liverpool today.
Competitions between top teams are often like sparks colliding with the earth.
The price of tickets for this game has been sky-high.
I read a few newspapers and enjoyed breakfast prepared by the private chef.
Chen Dongcheng allowed the maid to come over and wipe his mouth.
When will this corrupt day end?
…
Tottenham club.
In the conference room.
Several bank representatives were waiting here early.
The reason for their visit this time is simple. Chen Dongcheng proposed to repay the debt owed by Tottenham in one lump sum.
This is indeed very new to them.
Li Changqing opened the door of the conference room and invited Chen Dongcheng into the room.
Several white elites in suits and ties introduced themselves one after another.
One of them, Carlyle, a senior operations manager at Goldman Sachs, was an acquaintance of Li Changqing.
I just didn't expect that they would meet again in this way.
"Mr. Chen, I don't recommend that you repay your debt immediately. I think the interest can still be negotiated."
Carré naturally does not want to receive a payment from Tottenham so early.
You must know that this amount of money, just the annual interest, is not a small amount.
For the previous Levi, as long as he and Lewis were not allowed to invest.
Even if Tottenham takes on some debt, it doesn't matter.
Chen Dongcheng was clear about their thoughts, but he was not the one to repay the debt.
"Sorry, I appreciate your kindness.
I don’t like borrowing money very much, so we will pay the interest paid by Tottenham in one lump sum with interest.”
Several people on Carlei's side looked at each other, a little helpless.
The senses Chen Dongcheng gave them were no worse than those who sell oil in the Middle East. They also didn't care about money at all.
"Well, I hope to have more cooperation with Tottenham in the future."
Carré represented several banks and reluctantly signed the contract.
Just wait for the funds to arrive and all previous debts will be written off.
It was almost noon when the meeting between Chen Dongcheng and Carlei ended.
Speaking of the Premier League match time, it is indeed strange.
In order to take care of fans in other regions, especially fans in China.
The Premier League game time has been adjusted to noon, just enough for Chinese fans to watch the live broadcast of the game at 7 or 8 p.m.
This game time was opposed by many players and coaches, but it was of no use.
If you can't resist, you can only accept it.
Chen Dongcheng enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at the club and took Marotta and the others to the stadium to watch the game.
Tottenham fans are famously passionate in the Premier League and are very loyal to the team.
In addition, the Tottenham Stadium can accommodate a relatively small number of people, so there will be fans guarding outside before every game.
Even just hearing the cheers inside made them feel more satisfied.
When Tottenham build a new stadium, one reason is the needs of the fans and the other is the needs of the interests.
As the owner of the team, Chen Dongcheng certainly does not need to buy tickets.
The game tickets were prepared in advance, and the scene of Marotta accompanying Chen Dongcheng to watch the game was also captured by the live broadcast camera. Even the commentator was a little surprised.
"Is this supposed to be Tottenham's new boss?"
"I have to say that Tottenham's new boss is too young!"
"I hope the new boss can be more generous and bring more outstanding players to Tottenham!"
…
The fans looked at the camera and were a little surprised.
However, considering Chen Dongcheng's behavior of increasing the players' salaries some time ago, bursts of applause suddenly broke out at the scene.
Marotta smiled and said: "Boss, it seems the fans are still very satisfied with you."
"This is not enough, I need them to be more satisfied with me."
Chen Dongcheng wanted to increase his satisfaction index with me to 100.
The two sat down and waited for the game to start.
When the broadcast camera switched just now, many players saw it.
Especially on Tottenham's side, morale surged almost instantly.
The boss is watching the game in person. If he doesn't score a few more goals, do you still want to hang out?
Not to mention that the opponent is Liverpool, even Real Madrid has to stab it a few times.
The players' morale is already very high without Pochettino's encouragement.
The cheers of the fans made Chen Dongcheng feel very strange.
It is the first time for Chen Dongcheng to watch a Premier League match live.
Not to mention, the players off the court are all our employees.
Chen Dongcheng's words can determine their fate in the next few years.
After the game started, the players quickly got into shape.
Chen Dongcheng only knows a little bit about the football system, but Marotta is different.
Having worked as a general manager for many years, he can see the team's problems at a glance.
"Boss, the team's midfield is a bit poor, especially the midfielder position. It has been lacking a top player."
Chen Dongcheng said in a casual tone: "If you are short of people, go and buy them. Do you have any that you like?"
"Yes, Kante from Leicester City.
Pochettino and I are both optimistic about Kante's development.
If he can join the team, it will greatly improve the team's defense."
Chen Dongcheng tilted his head and thought for a while, but he remembered Kanter.
He seems to be a very awesome black midfielder.
"How much does it cost to buy him?"
"We can get it for about 30 million pounds, but we need to compete with Chelsea. They also intend to take Kante away next summer."
"Then add more money until the other party doesn't follow."
Chen Dongcheng rarely remembered a player he had heard of and waved his hand generously.
Marotta smiled and nodded: "Leicester City can't keep people. Their results this season are good, but that's all."
The disadvantage of small teams is that even if players can be retained for two years, they will eventually be sold by the owner.
Since we want Tottenham to become a giant, how can we not have a superstar on the bench?
The game continues, and the performance of the British Emperor Kane is quite eye-catching.
However, he just didn't score a goal, which made Chen Dongcheng anxious and wanted to go up and kick a few kicks.
Marotta watched the game and said calmly: "Klopp has just taken over after all, so he is lucky to get a draw."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white figure ran wildly with the ball and sent it into the gate.
"Who is that?"
Chen Dongcheng heard the crazy cheers of the fans and had to ask Marotta loudly.
"He is Ali, a new player who just joined our team this season."
Marotta replied while puffing her lips.
Ali scored the goal and didn't go anywhere else.
Instead, he ran towards Chen Dongcheng's side of the stands, as if he wanted to claim credit from Chen Dongcheng.
Ali opened his jersey and revealed the vest underneath, which had words on it: "Boss, I also want a salary increase!"
After Chen Dongcheng saw it clearly, he grinned happily and gave Ah Li a thumbs up: "ok!"
Ali kept paying attention to Chen Dongcheng, looking at his mouth shape, and got a satisfactory answer.
Ali ran back and accepted his teammates rubbing his hair in celebration.
The fans and commentators at the scene naturally noticed this scene and laughed in good faith.
For players, a salary increase is more practical than anything else.
What they eat is the food of youth, and they may get injured one day and sadly quit the field.
Pochettino put his hands in his trouser pockets and his smile was indescribably relaxed.
This is the benefit of the team's high morale, and he doesn't need to work hard to boost morale.
One by one, the players were like tigers descending from the mountain, eager to tear the Liverpool players apart and score goals for the boss to see.
Eriksen also scored a goal in the second half. He also trotted to the stands in front of Chen Dongcheng and lifted up his jersey to reveal the vest underneath.
"Boss, thank you for offering me the maximum salary!"
Fans also noticed that there were tears in Eriksson's eyes.
One can imagine how deeply a player touches the fans when he is so sincere.
Two goals are not the final chapter. Any player who wants a salary increase does not want to score goals.
British star Kane scored another goal before the end of the game.
Klopp's face became increasingly ugly, but Chen Dongcheng's smile never stopped.
At the end of the game, the surrounding bodyguards separated Chen Dongcheng from the fans to avoid riots.
Chen Dongcheng left the field after watching the game, and the reporters hurriedly rushed to send out the latest news.
"The new boss of Tottenham finally showed up, and all the Tottenham players rushed to score goals to show their goodwill!"
"The mysterious Eastern boss and team general manager Marotta personally accompanied him."
"Tottenham welcomes the power of the East. Does Tottenham have a chance to become a giant?"
A series of titles are flooding almost all major platforms.
Domestic netizens have naturally noticed it.
"What the hell, the boss of Tottenham seems to be a Chinese?"
"It's true. The acquiring company is an offshore company registered in Hong Kong. This boss is so young!"
"My dear, Su Ning is also acquiring Inter Milan. It is said that he plans to let Zhang Chongyang, Su Ning's young club, serve as the team's general manager."
"In today's football world, all the leaders have become those born in the 1990s, which is really new."
No matter how many netizens search, they can’t find any other content on the Internet except a simple line of text.
After watching the club's game, Marotta held another meeting.
He emphasized that the construction plan for the new stadium must be accelerated as soon as possible to avoid affecting the team's revenue.
The cost of the new stadium is destined to continue to increase, and Chen Dongcheng said that it is acceptable as long as it does not exceed one billion pounds.
This takes into account rising prices and costs, and Marotta was somewhat pleasantly surprised by the figure.
It can be said that no club in London has spent one billion pounds to build a stadium.
As the budget increases, the stadium capacity will naturally also be revised.
Marotta suggested: "Anyway, the stadium has not been built yet. I suggest expanding the capacity of the stadium."
The management present put forward their opinions one after another. Only Marotta was the most courageous. He planned to increase the number of people from 58,000 to 63,000.
Someone questioned: "We can only accommodate more than 30,000 fans now, and the atmosphere is very good.
But if the number of people in the new stadium increases to 63,000, will there be so many fans coming to support us?"
"I have conducted detailed research on this issue, and fans have very high expectations for the new stadium."
Marotta switched to a ppt page and said: "As long as our record is good enough, the home stadium with 63,000 people will definitely be full."
"Just follow what Marotta said, set the capacity of the new stadium at 63,000, and contact the builder again."
Chen Dongcheng spoke, and others naturally did not dare to refute.
For a small team, this is undoubtedly a gamble.
No one knows the future of Spurs.
Right now, it’s not certain whether the big boss’s blank check is true or false.
This is the advantage of a dominant company. The shares held by Chen Dongcheng allow him to make any plans for Tottenham's future without caring about the opinions of other small shareholders.
"Boss, as a giant, we must make a big investment. I suggest introducing new players during the winter break."
Marotta switched to the ppt again and introduced: "This is a defender from Southampton, his name is Van Dijk.
Pochettino liked him very much, but he was always rejected by Levi.
In the summer he joined Southampton."
Chen Dongcheng listened to a lot of Marotta's narration, and he was just optimistic about him. He simply asked: "How much does it cost to buy it?"
"Southampton spent 13 million pounds to introduce him this year. I think 20 million pounds should satisfy them."
Marotta laughed: "According to the contract they currently signed, as long as we pay 25 million pounds.
This will trigger the liquidated damages clause and successfully take away Van Dijk."
"Since you are optimistic about him, go and talk to them. The funds will be received during the winter transfer period."
Chen Dongcheng once again emphasized to everyone: "My investment in Tottenham is unlimited.
All you need to do is use our scouting resources to observe capable players from all over the world.
Wait until next summer to catch them all."
Marotta felt her blood boiling.
This kind of experience of building a wealthy family from scratch is also very novel for Marotta.
In the era when Jinyuan Football was popular, it was the most uncomfortable thing for professional managers when the boss had no money.
Except for Marotta, everyone else could not help but start to imagine the wonderful scene of Tottenham becoming a giant.
To put it more realistically, everyone's income will rise a lot.
Turning Tottenham into a giant is not only Chen Dongcheng's wish, but also the motivation for their struggle.
